    Attendees died, and Trump is way too cowardly to fake this with actual ammunition. It’s real

    EDIT: Mind, if you want to say it’s staged to rile up the right who keeps saying shootings are staged, then please, continue

      Fucking don’t. Spreading disinformation to “trigger the repubs” isn’t a productive strategy. Don’t stoop to their level.

      If your narrative requires spreading lies, your narrative is garbage.

        It’s also completely unnecessary. The shooter was a registered republican and apparently known to be a horrible shot, so he wasn’t left-wing and definitely wasn’t recruited by any organization for his sharpshooting skills.

      Conservatives can call everything fake news and spreading misinformation is suddenly a problem when it happens to their own people? Tiniest violin.

          “We go high you go low”

          And when they dismantle the government and march people off to internment camps you’ll be able to smile proud and say “at least I didn’t stoop to their level”

          Right?

          Taking the high road is a luxury only affordable by people who aren’t fighting an existential threat.

          If it saves democracy, then we need to stoop lower. The time of formalities is long over

      One attendee died. And the shooter is supposedly off site. Something doesn’t add up.
